Thoughts about TV Shows and Movies

 Numb3rs had interesting dialogue in the police procedural "common sense to not wave stick in front of crocodile" (Ash's Totodile biting Ash on the head - it's on my social media accounts - should help you remember) calculating stopping distance from mass and velocity (Charlie described as math problem while I thought it was physics problem too) from the train crash episode ("36 hours") was talking about script writing software which one of the leads, Rob Morrow, has been working on ("Where's Credit Due") For "36 Hours", I pointed out a train crash did happen in real life in California - Metrolink crash in 2008 in September.  Airing an episode about a train crash when a train crash happened in real life is probably not good idea, so the episode was pushed several episodes later.  One of the actors did film a disclaimer at the beginning of the episode.  I wished my mom who passed away understood trains - like Amtrak - have long stoppin...

 Merritt served as the distraction while Jack stole the chip.  Allen said he seen the Horsemen before and verified it by going to the Eye's headquarters, where he seen them again.  I felt like Atlas didn't need Dylan, but he changed his mind when Dylan rescued him from Walter.   I felt like the Horseman stole from the Eye.  Were Walter and Arthur Tressler part of the Eye?

Arthur Tressler uses Thaddeus Bradley to enact his revenge against the Horseman in both of the films, Now You See Me and its sequel.  Arthur is Thaddeus's source. in the first movie, Arthur Tressler paid Thaddeus Bradley double if Bradley agreed to expose the Horsemen in the sequel, Arthur Tressler was seen giving money to Thaddeus Bradley for Dylan Rhodes' whereabouts after Dylan was dropped into the ocean like his dad

 This is probably the only theory that makes sense about Inception.  The whole movie is a flashback - Cobb's flashblack of the Saito extraction and the Fischer inception - which lead to Cobb entering limbo.  The kicks waking up the dreamers destroyed Cobb's limbo - the city skyscrapers falling apart - and replaced it with Saito's limbo.  It is assumed Cobb and Saito shot themselves to wake up from limbo.

I wanted to talk about CSI: NY 's season 4 storyline, the 333 stalker.  I wondered how Mac's stalker, Drew Bedford, knew Mac's hotel rooms he was staying in's phone number cell phone's # office's phone # office location I guess he used Stella's office card to guess Mac's office number and office location to call him and leave the luggage with the bloody t-shirt.  He could have called the area hotels and asked if Mac Taylor was staying in one of the rooms. The bloody t-shirt belonged to Will, Andy's brother who died.  The chalk outline was of Will, and the newspaper satchel belonged to Will.  The dead body was Bobby Toole - the man who killed Will.

I am reviewing  Cold Case , the CBS show about cold cases the Philadelphia homicide detectives worked on.  Spoilers alert.  I first saw the show on HBO Max but found roku had the full episodes for free, so rewatched the show. Season 1, Episode 3 - "Our Boy is Back" The perp had to be brave bragging to the police that he's back in Philadelphia raping women.  I think he wanted to get caught because of his demons. Season 2 Scotty was humping his coworker's sister, Christina.  I'm not sure I would be brave enough to hump family members of my coworkers. Season 3, Episode 23 - "Joseph" The chemistry / scene between Lily Rush and her partner, Scotty Valens, when Scotty is at Lily's home after she called in sick was awkward at the end.

"Boy in the Box" on Cold Case was Arnold Culliver was found in Liho Punch box came from Fernwood home for Orphans came with "sister", Gretchen was part of science club boys that tested radiation (radiation made men infertile) was believed to have been adopted by parents who died in 1887 was a problem child loved it at Fernwood was subjected to ECT was the son of sister Grace was 6 years old I like to rewatch this episode for some reason

Spoiler Warning!!! Now You See Me was a movie about four magicians robbing a bank.  The recurring dialogue was "the closer you look, the less you actually see."  Apartment 6A was a recurring location.  This whole movie was about revenge Credit Republicain de Paris carried the note Tressler Insurance Company was the company that denied the claim for Lionel's death  Elkhorn started as a safe manufacturer and used cheap steel which warped when it went to the bottom of the river The magicians robbed 3.2 million euros from the bank. Jack Wilder got the "death" tarot card, and he died in the movie.  Daniel Atlas got the "lover" card, and he was seen making out with a lady at the beginning of the movie.  Henley also mentioned "three minutes".
